We started looking into staying in a Hostal as opposed to Hotel as our 2 children are too small to be able to stay in their own hotel room, but to big to stay in a cot in our room. We stayed in a family room which was comfortable, clean, and central, but not on any of the main roads,... more

We had never been to Spain before and Hostal Acapulco was where we stayed our first night. The lift was broken when we got there and we had to take all of our luggage up the never-ending staircase, but it wasnt too bad. The daytime staff was very friendly and helpful. They provided us with a map and showed us... more

On returning to Madrid after a city break last year, I did not hesitate to choose Hostal Acapulco again. It truly is a magnificent find and ticks all the main boxes of Cleanliness, Value, Security and Location. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from Gran Via metro station and took us about 40 minutes from airport. We had... more

This place had everything we wanted from it... amenities like WiFi, fridge and AC in the room, as well as a good location where we could easily walk to the Huertas for good nightlife or food. more

Can't fault this hostal. My daughter and I stayed for three nights recently and it was great. Spotlessly clean rooms and clean and comfy beds. Rooms have everthing necessary, air conditioning, mini fridge, nice furniture. Having never stayed in a hostal before I can say that I'd rather stay in this any day than some of the more expensive hotels.Infact... more

This is a small, well run hotel very close to Sol and many Metro stops. The rooms are small and clean, and the room I had facing an internal fresh air well was quiet. Javier at the front desk was ready to help with questions in Spanish and English, and seemed to have endless patience with tourists. In the small... more

This spring we decided to spend a week in Madrid and we were very fortunate to find accomodation at this lovely hostel situated only 30m away from the famous Gran Via Avenue. At first we weren't sure what to expect, because the room had been rather cheap, but as soon as we arrived it became clear that it was the... more

While all things about Hostal Acapulco justify its ranking, the brightest point for me is the staff, and of course at the center of all is Javier. A proud and humble Madrileno, he provides not only good suggestions on eating, events, transportation, but also fun facts and opinions of all things Espana (if he has time to chat). If you... more

We think this hotel is a little overrated, because there is absolutely no insulation between the rooms, and even normal conversations can be heard. There is a bar that is next-door to this building, and so the street noise can be quite loud right up to three or 4 a.m. on some nights. We stayed seven nights, and found it... more
